Please note: This is an abbreviated early-access description for email subscribers. A full listing with additional details and playing impressions will be available soon.
Overview
We are very excited to present the first guitar built for GuitarCollection.com by Tamara Stahl, a young maker whose work already shows a remarkable level of refinement, individuality, and musical maturity.
This 2026 instrument blends Spanish tradition with modern precision, resulting in a guitar that is warm, lyrical, powerful, and extremely responsive. Tamara’s approach is not to build the same instrument over and over again, but to respond to the unique qualities of each piece of wood. That philosophy is immediately felt here. This guitar has a surprisingly alive, full, and exciting character, with a voice that feels open, expressive, and ready to sing.
Visually, it is also a work of art. The craftsmanship is elegant and refined throughout, and we are especially in love with Tamara’s latest rosette design, which gives the guitar a striking and unmistakable presence. This is a guitar that will turn heads both sonically and visually.

Sound
This guitar has a wonderfully alive and colorful voice. The cedar top gives it warmth and immediacy, while the overall construction provides a surprising amount of power, clarity, and responsiveness. It has a full, lyrical sound with plenty of personality, and it feels like an instrument with a real artistic identity rather than a generic modern concert guitar.
There is a beautiful balance between traditional warmth and a more contemporary sense of projection and refinement. Notes speak easily, the guitar responds quickly, and the sound has an engaging, vocal quality that makes it especially enjoyable to play.
Playability
The 650 mm scale length and 52.5 mm nut width give this guitar a familiar and comfortable concert feel, while the raised fingerboard and 20th fret make it a very practical modern instrument with excellent upper-register access.
